I see they notified the umpire before the game that Perry was only going 4 innings so he could be the pitcher of record. Mojo with a big day. I’m assuming Schwellenbach walked a lot? Love that from a leadoff hitter.
 
Spencer got hurt Bottom of 2nd.
Hoping for good news.
Was barely able to walk off the field after the injury occurred.
After the game he was seen in an air cast and not walking any better.
Cam Chick did a good job filling in for Spencer.
Kyle Perry's pitching performance was impressive.
Hallmark closed.
Keegan Watson hits Home Runs.

Hoping we get all 3 games in against Sparty.
Must win early in case Mother Nature intervenes.
Don't pooh-pooh Mich.St. they've always play the Huskers tough!

Ugh, not something we need this early in the season from one of our hottest hitters.
